One thing that I would like to learn more about is martial arts. I’ve been reading a bit about them and it seems like I would be interested in learning karate or kung fu but I’m not sure if there are any places around here where I could take lessons. I think there is a place across town but I think it might be a taekwondo school and I’m not really too sure I want to learn that style. I know that they’re all kind of the same but there is something about taekwondo that just makes me not really want to learn it.
I’m also going to see if my friend wants to go to the school with me. On the way there we could listen to each other and get ready for class. I’m not sure if he would want to study it with me but I figure I will ask because I think it would be kind of cool and I know that my friend likes martial arts.
I also think that I’m going to need to start making some changes in my work so that I can fit in some martial arts classes. The classes are usually in the evenings and that’s when I’m usually busy so I’m going to have to see what I can do about that. I’m going to see if my friend wants to check out the school with me so we can see if it’s the kind of thing that we are interested in or not since there are some karate schools that are kind of run not so well, and then there are the places where you just pay a bunch of money for promotions. I don’t want to go to a school like that. I’d rather be at a place where you learn the art and the promotions are part of the program but not the main reason that people are there. There are also some martial arts supplies I will need to get and I think that I’m going to want to get some clothes to train in, too. We will probably have uniforms in class but at home I’m going to need something to wear because I want to practice all the techniques and stuff that I learn. There might even be a way to hang a punching bag or something in my basement so I’m going to see if I can do that.
